I just started playing again after years of not playing. I ordered a new Cordoba Fusion 12 Orchestra Cedar top ($850ish). It just arrived and right away I noticed these large wood pores or cracks in the Ebony fingerboard. My heart sunk...
I'm really not sure what to do. Is this normal? Should I exchange it? Please help.
*EDIT*
Not sure why the images are not loading? If you right click on the broken images and select, "View Image", it does work.
A close up
Another shot, not so close.
